Aim, Spray, Clean — It's That Easy
A high-pressure delivery system flushes contaminants off the brake assembly with ease. The delivery system has been designed to hit the targeted oil, grease and dirt with exceptional accuracy. A small extension straw is included making targeting precise locations even easier. The cleaner penetrates deeply to rid the brakes of gunk hidden in hard-to-reach spots. The cleaner is recommended for brake linings, shoes, drums, cylinders, caliper units, disc brake pads, and all other related parts. Because this one product cleans away so many types of contaminants, it reduces the need to stock multiple cleaners.

Makes Brake Cleaning an Easy Task
We made this brake cleaner easy to use (PDF, 2.4 Mb). Simply hold the can 12 to 24 inches from the surface and, starting at the top, wash the contamination down and off the area being cleaned. If parts are extremely contaminated, repeat the application. Then remove excess with a paper towel and dispose of properly. The cleaner dries quickly and leaves no residue.

Importance of Clean Brakes
Under normal road conditions, residue builds up on vehicle braking systems. That's why keeping your brake components in top-working condition should be an important part of your ongoing vehicle maintenance. Using this brake cleaner is a simple step that can be taken to restore the cleanliness of brakes. You'll notice the difference because newly cleaned brakes are less likely to squeal and chatter, making the car ride more enjoyable.

NOTE: Cleaner may instantly damage paint and some plastics. Avoid contact with automotive finishes and decorative finishes.
